Talk:Ratchet (SG)

Suicide is painful

Jeysie had changed the caption of the main picture from "Suicide is a hell of a lot less painful than this guy" to "Suicide is a hell of a lot less painless than this guy" on the grounds that it was a "Suicide is Painless (MASH theme)" reference. While I thing Jeysie was right on the ref, the resulting statement didn't convey the proper meaning. "Less painless" would mean that suicide hurts a lot more than going to see Ratchet, which is the exact opposite of what was intended (Aren't double negatives fun?). Perhaps a better way of phrasing this caption can be found? Khajidha 12:34, 24 November 2009 (EST) (Had misremembered who changed it)Khajidha 12:35, 24 November 2009 (EST)

Dude. The Shattered Glass *M*A*S*H* theme is Suicide is Painful. Try to keep up! -Derik 13:18, 24 November 2009 (EST)

Actually, the caption originally said "Suicide is a hell of a lot less painless than this guy". Dead Metal changed it to "Suicide is a hell of a lot less painful than this guy", and I reverted his change because I figured that whoever the original caption writer was, had probably meant to make a M*A*S*H reference.

So, uh, basically, don't look at me if you don't like the way the caption was worded, as I was just restoring its original state.

(Of course, Rosicrucian has gone and found a way to cleverly compromise around the matter, as is his wont.) --Jeysie 22:39, 24 November 2009 (EST)
